Many people (including yours truly) would sometimes prefer to take a walk among the tall trees in pristine forests and enjoy the scenery of a clear freshwater lake instead of going to a beach.  I know that Lake Tahoe beats a lot of other Nevada destinations mainly because of the beauty of the surrounding countryside. And who wouldn’t be impressed by snow-capped mountains in the distance, while warm and comfortable in shorts and a t-shirt? To say the view around the lake is beautiful would be an understatement.
